An independent assessor concluded that eg met the required standards in all 5 areas of its business; so purchasers can be sure that eg will perform well in every area.
In gaining this unique standard it demonstrates eg has achieved excellent performance standards in core business processes and has proven its commitment to continuous improvement. An annual review will be carried out to ensure that we continue to improve and meet the required expectations.
